Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- We need the room cleared
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials in Leyton
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Artex ceilings

Where asbestos turns up
Most problems come during renovation: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Coatings scraped during DIY
Older homes across Leyton may have coatings added during past renovations.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What category of work it is
- What paperwork you get

Your questions about Artex removal in Leyton
Is asbestos common in Leyton homes?
If your home in Leyton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Leyton despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.

We do: our area includes Leyton and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
